Video issues on new Macbook Air

I just moved everything to a new MBA 11" and when I run full screen on the internal display it looks like the attached screen shot. In window-mode, it looks fine. In full-screen on my external monitor (1920x1200) it looks fine.

I am running the latest Parallels 6. I rebooted the VM. I reinstalled the Tools. I updated the video driver (which was at latest already).

Ideas?

Looks like Parallels doesn't like the MBA 11" native screen resolution of 1366 x 768 maybe because 1366 is not a multiple of 16.

Have you tried 1344 x 756?

Excellent suggestion. Video looks fine with 1344 x 756. I will post a bug report.

Thanks.

Sorry about the lack of updating. I discovered that the resolution 1366x768 doesn't work, even in Windowed mode on my MacBook Air (something with the video chipset?).

Anyway, this is what Parallels had to say (after I tested a lot of scenarios:

"I am glad to inform you that Our product Maintenance Team is aware of this issue and they have already prepared a fix for it.
We are waiting this fix to be released in the nearest updates of Parallels Desktop."
 
Just got a MacBook Air yesterday, and had no idea about this issue. Running Parallels 5.0.9376.599993, Windows 7 VM, still have this issue in Full Screen. I've resorted to Coherence, but I'd rather be using Full Screen. Is it also a problem in Parallels 6?
